If there’s one thing this busy mom of 4 likes is ways to make things quicker and easier.  Take baking for instance, I don’t mind baking, I actually kinda like it.  It’s the clean up that I dislike.  scrubbing baking sheets to get the excess dough off, trying to pry cookies off the baking sheet, using cooking spray only to have things stick anyway, …you get the idea.

Castle Rock Essentials Products Amazon store has products to make your life easier. One item in particular is the Simply Essentials silicone baking mat.  I have never used a baking mat before in my life.  I had used silicone cookware before and I could take it or leave it.  The idea of he Simply Essentials silicone baking mat is that you put it in your cookie tray the you don’t have to use sprays or oils to keep your cookies from sticking.  It also makes cleaning up your baking sheets a breeze.

I had found a very cool chocolate chip cookie recipe on Holy Jeans  & My Favorite Things Blog so I just had to try it.  I figure this would be a great test of the silicone baking mat and commercial baking sheet I received to review.

This mat sat perfectly in the baking sheet they sent me.  The exact measurements of this particular pad are: 16 5/8 x 11 3/4 inches x .73 mm thick.   We placed our cookie dough on the sheet with the silicone baking mat and stuck it in the oven.  When I pulled it out of the oven I was pleased to see that I could scoop the cookies right up with my spatula.  They didn’t stick at all.  There wasn’t even any left over or over baked cookie dough on the mat.  I did a little video when I first pulled them out of the oven so you could see just how well this worked.

Isn’t that great? A lot easier to clean up, no sticking whatsoever. Baking made easier right? You can find the Simply Essentials silicone baking mat on the Castle Rock Essential Products Amazon store:

I’ve talked about Swagbucks for awhile now, so you may know how great it is to get free gift cards and pay for gifts, big purchases and anything else with them instead of paying out of pocket. They’ve saved me $25 last year through their gift cards alone. Well now I have exciting news and a great opportunity for all of you to earn bonus SB — enough to get a free $5 gift card!

Any of my readers who signs up for Swagbucks.com through my link here between now and April 5th is eligible to get a 500 SB bonus! Think of it as a free gift card just for signing up through me. In order to get the bonus automatically, you must also earn 1500 SB before April 19th. Note that since this is an exclusive offer, you must sign up through this link and earn 1500 SB in order to get your 500 SB bonus. If you sign up elsewhere, or only do one of the two steps, the bonus unfortunately will not be available to you.

So how do you get that 500 SB bonus? Simple: you can earn SB from any of the earning activities found on the homepage or top bar of Swagbucks.com (Shop, Search, Watch, Play, Answer, Discover, NOSO & Daily Poll). I’ll be posting periodically ways to help you earn more Swag Bucks so you can hit that 1500 SB mark before April 19th. In the meantime, if you haven’t started earning with Swagbucks yet, now is a great time to sign up and check out all the different ways to earn Bucks — all so you can get a bunch of free gift cards. Please note that it may take up to 14 business days to credit your account once you have earned 1500 SB.
